Abstract: A 40-year-old man complained of patchy hair loss of sudden onset (figure 1A). On clinical examination, we noted that the alopecia presented non-inflammatory and non-cicatricial characteristics, with a patchy pattern having a moth-eaten appearance. The patient also had a symmetrical macular exanthema on his trunk (figure 1B) and several so-called copper penny maculopapular lesions with a scaling ring on both palms and soles of the feet (figure 1C). Finally, painful, radial fissures were noted around his mouth (figure 1D). A translucent vascularised iris granuloma in a patient with secondary syphilisWe read with interest the Clinical Picture by Calogero Pagliarello and colleagues1 describing a case of secondary syphilis.
